Review: Really incredible speakers - Amazing build and sound quality, was worried about the lack of bass since there's no included subwoofer but it ended up being more bassy than my basic PC desktop speakers which do have a subwoofer, I've decided to keep these for my TV for watching/listening video/podcasts and gaming on my Playstation, it has really elevated the experience. The included remote makes it very convenient to adjust the audio levels and allows me to set and forget, as I mainly control my audio through the TV. I'm really happy about the fact you can also adjust the bass/treble via knobs on the sides, my logitech speakers only has a bass dial in comparison. Audio is great and clear, and the finish on the speakers themselves is amazing, very easy to setup and if I ever need another set of speakers for whatever reason I'll definitely be looking at this brand from now on. Review: Edifier a Real High-Flier - Amazing speakers for under £100. Hitched them to my new Sony turntable and couldn't believe the quality. Vinyl albums 50 years old dusted down and brought back to life with a dynamism and depth I never knew they possessed. Crisp treble notes, resonant bass and incredible effects. Treble may be a little too sharp and jarring for some tastes but easily fixable using independent controls on active speaker. Fills the room with immersive resurrected nostalgia from the seventies and eighties. And a handy remote means instant control of volume. Unbeatable package whether listening to rock or electro-pop. Edifier is certainly a high-flier in this field. ## Features - 2 x AUX INPUT - Convenient connection to any device that has a 3.5mm headphone output or dual RCA output. Connect to two devices via AUX at the same time, no plugging and switching needed. - STUDIO SOUND QUALITY - Natural sound reproduction from 13mm silk dome tweeter and 4 inch full range unit - REMOTE CONTROL - Adjust volume at your figure tips. Bass and treble control located on the side of main speaker. - CLASSIC WOOD FINISH - High quality MDF wood build finished with wood effect vinyl serves as a great compliment to any home decor. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B089KMM3B6 | | Antenna Location | Studio Monitor | | Audio Driver Size | 13 Millimetres | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Audio output mode | Stereo | | Best Sellers Rank | 3 in Bookshelf Hi-Fi Speakers | | Box Contents | Fake | | Brand | Edifier | | Brand Name | Edifier | | Colour | Oak | | Compatible Devices | Music players, devices with RCA or AUX input | | Connectivity Protocol | aux, RCA, optical, coaxial | | Connectivity technology | RCA | | Control Method | Remote | | Controller Type | Remote Control | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 909 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | MDF wood | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Frequency response | 20 KHz | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 19.6D x 14.6W x 23.4H centimetres | | Item Weight | 4.9 Kilograms | | MP3 player | No | | Manufacturer | Edifier | | Maximum Speaker Output Power (in watts) | 42 Watts | | Model Name | R1280T | | Model Number | R1280T | | Mounting Type | Shelf Mount | | Mounting type | Shelf Mount | | Network Connectivity Technology | RCA | | Number Of Circuits | 2 | | Number of Audio Channels | 2.0 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Features | Hi Res Audio | | Product Warranty | Limited | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 85 dB | | Speaker Size | 13 Millimetres | | Speaker Type | Bookshelf | | Speaker maximum output power | 42 Watts | | Specific Uses For Product | For home entertainment systems and computer speakers | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Tweeter Diameter | 13 Millimetres | | Unit Count | 2.0 count | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Wireless Technology Type | No Wireless Communication Technology | | Woofer Driver Diameter | 4 Inches | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Stereo - **Brand:** Edifier - **Connectivity technology:** RCA - **Frequency response:** 20 KHz - **Material:** MDF wood - **Model name:** R1280T - **Mounting type:** Shelf Mount - **Speaker maximum output power:** 42 Watts - **Speaker type:** Bookshelf - **Special feature:** Hi Res Audio ## Images ![Edifier R1280T Active Bookshelf Speakers 4'' Driver & 5” Tweeter /42W RMS 2-Way Output /2 RCA Input/MDF Enclosure/Remote Control for PC/TV/PS5, Brown - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71o5w0ZfptL.jpg) ![Edifier R1280T Active Bookshelf Speakers 4'' Driver & 5” Tweeter /42W RMS 2-Way Output /2 RCA Input/MDF Enclosure/Remote Control for PC/TV/PS5, Brown - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rAsRk0r3L.jpg) ![Edifier R1280T Active Bookshelf Speakers 4'' Driver & 5” Tweeter /42W RMS 2-Way Output /2 RCA Input/MDF Enclosure/Remote Control for PC/TV/PS5, Brown - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vNIyvF-VL.jpg) ![Edifier R1280T Active Bookshelf Speakers 4'' Driver & 5” Tweeter /42W RMS 2-Way Output /2 RCA Input/MDF Enclosure/Remote Control for PC/TV/PS5, Brown - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41uxVgLLYkL.jpg) ![Edifier R1280T Active Bookshelf Speakers 4'' Driver & 5” Tweeter /42W RMS 2-Way Output /2 RCA Input/MDF Enclosure/Remote Control for PC/TV/PS5, Brown - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OKU4jssnL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does this differ from 1280db?** A: Not got Bluetooth you just got to read the Specs it works out a cheaper buy no difference in Audio quality hope that helps **Q: I need a speaker with 8 ohms for a old technics record player with amp.
